What it smells like

The Scent File profile

A classic barbershop-inspired fougère that pays homage to the founder of the house, William Penhaligon. It opens with bright citrus and aromatic spice before settling into a heart of lavender and geranium, anchored by a warm, woody base of cedarwood, sandalwood, and oakmoss. The overall effect is refined and nostalgic, evoking the atmosphere of a Victorian-era gentleman's grooming parlour.
